    1. The document discusses different types of turbines that are suitable for various micro hydropower plant parameters, including head, flow rate, and specific turbine speed. 2. It determines that a cross-flow impulse turbine is most suitable for low head and low flow conditions, with an output of 0.1-1MW, while a propeller turbine is best for medium head and flow, with an efficiency of 85% and output of 10KW-6MW. 3. The selection of turbine depends on the specific design parameters for each situation.

    Conclusion:

    1. To meet the energy requirements, various groups have examined micro hydropower plants
    because of its advantages of proposing good performance as compared to conventional
    fossil fuels.
    2. Energy is generated by applying water pressure, to rotate the blades of hydropower
    turbines.
    3. Available head, specific turbine speed, and water flow are the key factors for the selection
    of appropriate turbine type under certain parameters.
    4. Crossflow impulse turbine can be used up till for 50m head (max.) and 0.8m3/sec flowrate.
    On the contrary, propeller turbine can be for head between 10~70meters.
    5. In this study, cross flow impulse turbine is considered as most suitable turbine type under
    certain design parameters which includes: low flow rate, low-pressure head, and 63 m/s
    specific turbine speed.
    6. Moreover, propeller turbine is selected on the basis of medium pressure head, medium flow
    rate and 15.18 m/s specific turbine speed.
    7. Selection of turbine is projected in terms of kilowatts which is likely to be 4.4 KW for
    cross-flow impulse turbine and 18.7 KW for propeller turbine.
    8. Any ambiguity in the design parameters for the selection of turbine can cause cavitation in
    the penstock which results, decrease in turbine’s efficiency.
    9. Furthermore, Frances turbine should have been used instead of propeller turbine but the
    major problem was the decrement to the efficiency at the given design conditions.
    10. As the purpose of this study is primarily the selection of turbine under specific design
    parameters, however turbine’s efficiency cannot be ignored.
    11. As for micro hydel turbine the required pressure head is below 10 meters, so after the
    completion of our literature review, assumptions and calculations we have decided that
    cross flow impulse turbine is suitable for the first case which is at Lower Dir, because it
    operates at low head and low flow rate and as it has shown better results according to the
    parameters as compared to other turbines. Its output power is 0.1MW to 1MW.
    12. On the other hand, propeller turbine is most suitable for the second case among the rest of
    the turbines according to the given design parameters which are at District Malakand, it is
    used for medium head and medium flow rate where its efficiency is 85 %. Its output power
    generation can be from 10KW to 6MW. For the discussed cases above, it is the most
    optimum selection at specific design parameters.
    13. Important amongst all, hydropower plants is feasible to the environment because it has no
    harmful effect on the atmosphere i.e. ozone depletion potential is very less.
